fender p bass anodised scratchplate

Anyone know?

I'm shielding the body. Is there any point in sheilding the scratch plate?

As a side note - it's bloody heavy!

Only if you are going to solder earths to it as I do instead of messing up the back of the pots. Its very difficult to solder ali as it requires a special flux and high temperature so I stick copper shielding to it.

I wouldn't bother personally. Just make sure the back of the pots are earthed and the plate should get a connection through the pot shafts. That's how mine is done...

and mine...the plate acts as a secondary bus

make sure there are star washers between the pot and the plate to 'bite' into the metal
